The Competition & Teaser Thread

[Aaron]

Unless I misunderstand your point, this is already in, at least in Moscow '42.

Example:

The Rifle battalion at height 150 in the top right can't see the German infantry battalion to the south because there's a 150m hex in between and the German unit is at height 100.

It can see another German unit at height level 200. That, to me, is the only somewhat odd thing about spotting in PzC in terms of terrain that I can currently think of, that obstacles don't always block line of sight even though realistically the unit probably wouldn't be able to see through the town or forest at the same height to spot the enemy unit in the distance.

I'm not certain what the issue is?

Importantly in both PzC & PzB, in hex terrain heights are taken into account also.

Here is the entries from the PzB PDT table.




As far as sloping hills and other issues, LOS is done from the centre of the hex to the hex of the target hex. The plateau effect is appropriate.

Have a look at this photo. This was taken when I visited the battlefield that is in the game last year (a lot more on that to come). This hill/rise is overlooking a river crossing point. You can see that any defensive position a further 10 metres back from where this photo was taken from could not see down to where the crossing is. Put a 250 metre hex in front and you have no chance.
